News

  • Misses two kicks Sunday night

    McPherson made two of his four field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 34-27 loss against the Chargers.

    Analysis: McPherson has not missed a field goal shorter than 40 yards this season, but he's been far less consistent on longer kicks, and the story was no different in Week 11. It was especially costly Sunday, as both the 48-yarder he missed in the middle of the fourth quarter and the 51-yarder he missed with less than two minutes remaining would have given the Bengals the lead. He'll be looking to bounce back against the Steelers following Cincinnati's Week 12 bye.

  • Doesn't attempt any FGs in Week 10

    McPherson converted all four of his extra-point tries and did not attempt a field goal in Thursday's loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: McPherson came through when called upon, but all of his kicks were PATs. The Bengals opted to try for a two-point conversion on their final touchdown with less than 40 seconds remaining in the contest, costing McPherson a fifth point-after attempt and resulting in a loss when the team was unable to convert. McPherson has made more than one field goal just once over his past six contests.

  • Delivers 11 points vs. Las Vegas

    McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Sunday was the third time this season that McPherson has contributed at least 10 points for the Bengals. Through the first nine games of the regular season, McPherson has connected on 13 of 17 field-goal attempts and has gone 25-for-26 on extra-point attempts.

  • Misses 54-yard field-goal attempt

    McPherson made one of two field-goal attempts and converted on both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: McPherson made a 27-yard chip shot early in the second quarter, but his 54-yard field-goal attempt later in the frame missed wide left. It was his fourth miss on a field-goal attempt this season, and three of the other misses have come over the Bengals' last four regular-season games. McPherson will look to get back on track against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 3.

  • Misses lone try at Cleveland

    McPherson missed his only field-goal try and converted all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 21-14 win at Cleveland.

    Analysis: A 50-yard try late in the fourth quarter would have extended the Bengals' lead to three scores, but McPherson pushed it wide right. His accuracy to start this season hasn't been totally up to par with the standard he's set for himself over the course of his career, but he should have a chance to make positive corrections as the year progresses if Cincinnati's offense continues to have success moving the ball.

  • Quiet in low-scoring affair

    McPherson made his only field-goal attempt and converted both of his two extra-point tries during Sunday's 17-7 win at the Giants.

    Analysis: Not much offense was generated by either team at MetLife in Week 6, but McPherson did what little was asked of him to help get the Bengals to their second win of the season. He'll hope to see more chances in Week 7 at Cleveland.

  • Misses in loss

    McPherson made all four extra-point tries but missed his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: McPherson's only FGA came in overtime from 53 yards out; however, a dropped snap from holder Ryan Rehkow led to a bad hold and a wide-left miss. The field goal was the Flordia product's second miss on the season and first from over 50 yards.

  • Perfect in Sunday's win

    McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: McPherson had his best performance of the Bengals' 2024 campaign in Week 4, as the Florida product drilled both his field-goal attempts, including a 56-yarder, and split the uprights on all four of his point-after tries as well. The 25-year-old has missed just one field goal and one extra point through Cincinnati's first four contests, and he's expected to continue producing as the Bengals host the Ravens in Week 5.

  • Misses one in loss

    McPherson made three extra-point tries but missed one of three field-goal attempts in Monday's 38-33 loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: McPherson missed his first FGA of the night when he sent a 48-yard try wide left in the second quarter. However, he was good from 28 and 31 yards out later in the game. The Florida product is now 7-for-8 on field-goal attempts through three games and 5-for-6 on PATs. Next up is a Week 4 matchup against the Panthers.

  • Misses key point-after try

    McPherson made all four field-goal attempts but missed one of two extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: McPherson connected from 22, 33 and 48 yards out before hitting a 53-yard field goal to give the Bengals a 25-23 lead in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately for the Florida product, he was wide right on a PAT following an Andrei Iosivas touchdown catch late in the third quarter, which ultimately ended up being the difference in the score.

  • Kicks field goal in loss

    McPherson made his lone field goal attempt and extra-point try in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: McPherson didn't have a kick attempt until the third quarter of Sunday's game due to the Bengals' offense struggling to march down the field. He converted the extra-point attempt in the third quarter following a Zack Moss touchdown run, and McPherson connected on a 51-yard field-goal attempt late in the fourth quarter. McPherson and Cincinnati will take on Kansas City in Week 2.

  • Pens three-year extension

    McPherson agreed to terms Friday on a three-year, $16.5 million extension with the Bengals, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: McPherson's new deal reportedly includes $10 million in its first year. The 2021 fifth-round pick converted 26 of 31 field goals across 17 regular-season games last year and was a perfect 40-for-40 on PATs. All five of McPherson's missed field-goal tries in 2023 came from 50-plus yards out. It's no surprise to see Cincinnati ink one of the league's best kickers to a long-term deal, and with Joe Burrow back under center to lead the Bengals' offense, McPherson's fantasy prospects look improved…read more

  • Perfect in victory

    McPherson made his lone field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: McPherson's lone FGA was good from 45 yards out near the end of the second quarter, helping give the Bengals a 24-0 lead heading into halftime. The Florida product finished his third season with 26 of 31 field goals made, good for an 84% conversion rate, with all five misses coming from 50-plus yards. He was also a perfect 40-for-40 on PATs. McPherson has one year remaining on his rookie contract and should return to the Bengals next season.

  • Kicks field goal in loss

    McPherson made a field goal and two extra-point attempts in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: McPherson's lone FGA came from 34 yards out on the Bengals' opening drive, which gave them a 3-0 lead. He chipped in two PATs in the second quarter, but other than the kickoff to open the second half, the Flordia product didn't take the field again, as Cincinnati was shut out the rest of the way. Next up for McPherson and the Bengals is a Week 18 divisional clash with the Browns.

  • Makes lone kick in Week 16 loss

    McPherson made his only field-goal attempt and didn't try any extra points in Saturday's loss to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: The Bengals fell behind big early and trailed 24-0 at the half, so the team elected to go for a two-point conversion after scoring a touchdown on its opening drive of the third quarter. However, McPherson did get the opportunity to attempt a field goal in the closing seconds of the period with Cincinnati facing a 4th-and-15. The third-year kicker nailed the 35-yard attempt, giving him at least one made field goal in each of the team's 15 games this season.

  • Comes through in clutch

    McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Saturday's 27-24 overtime win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: McPherson was successful on a 34-yard attempt on the Bengals' opening drive, but the team was then shut out until the fourth quarter. However, after three late touchdowns and three made PATs that helped force overtime, McPherson made the game-winning kick from 29 yards out to end his day. The Florida product is now 23-for-28 on FGAs this season -- with all five misses coming from beyond 50 yards -- and he's connected on all 34 extra-point tries.

  • Pair of clutch kicks in win

    McPherson converted two of his three field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Monday night's 34-31 overtime win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: McPherson started off Monday night's contest by missing a 57-yard field-goal attempt, but he was a perfect 6-6 on kicks after that miscue. The third-year kicker out of Florida drilled a 54-yarder to put the Bengals up by three with 2:28 to go in the fourth-quarter, and he made a 48-yard game-winning field goal in overtime. McPherson's most recent outing should make fantasy managers optimistic about his rest-of-season value, as Jake Browning was able to lead Cincinnati's offense to 34 points in…read more

  • Quiet in low-scoring affair

    McPherson converted his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 16-10 loss versus the Steelers.

    Analysis: On a day in which Cincinnati was only able to muster 222 yards of total offense, McPherson was predictably a non-factor for the most part. He knocked through a 47-yard field goal with just over two minutes remaining in the game to bring the Bengals within six points, but they couldn't recover his onside kick, and Pittsburgh was able to kneel the remainder of the game away. Cincinnati's offense projects as one of the worst in the league without starting quarterback Joe Burrow, so fantasy…read more

  • Misses field goal Thursday

    McPherson converted one of his two field-goal attempts and both of his two extra-point tries in Thursday's 34-20 loss at Baltimore.

    Analysis: In an otherwise mistake-free game for McPherson, he was unable to send home a 53-yard attempt on the first play of the second quarter that would have cut the Ravens' lead to 7-6. He still hasn't missed from 49 yards or fewer in 2023, but another long miss in Week 11 sent his conversion rate on kicks of 50-plus yards down to 60 percent for the season. With Joe Burrow (wrist) set to miss the rest of the campaign, fantasy prospects for Cincinnati's entire offense and McPherson take a huge ding…read more

  • Perfect in loss

    McPherson made both of his field-goal tries and all three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: McPherson made a game-tying 31-yard field goal with less than two minutes left in the game, but he never got an opportunity to get the Bengals the win from there. He also connected from 50 yards out in the third quarter, which helped close the gap on the Texans' 13-point lead at the time. McPherson may see fewer opportunities during a Week 11 Thursday night matchup against the typically tough Ravens defense.

  • Makes only field-goal attempt

    McPherson converted his only field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-18 win versus Buffalo.

    Analysis: McPherson was mostly quiet in Week 9, not attempting a field goal until the middle of the fourth quarter when he connected on a chip shot to extend Cincinnati's lead to 24-10. He's been automatic on kicks of less than 50 yards through eight games this season, and he projects as a good fantasy kicker when the Bengals host a middling Houston defense in Week 10.

    Analysis: McPherson missed his first field-goal try of the day from 50 yards out in the middle of the second quarter, failing to help Cincinnati expand on a 14-7 lead. Later though, he partially made up for the missed chance by connecting on a 56-yarder early in the third quarter to extend the Bengals' lead to 17-10. In all, he has made just four of his seven field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards out in 2023, a far cry from the 87.5 percent conversion rate he managed from that range his first two years…read more

Cincinnati has struggled to advance the ball the whole length of the field so far this season, putting McPherson on pace for a career high in field-goal attempts. He's remained as…read more

  • Posts productive day

    McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: With the Bengals able to find the end zone multiple times in Week 5, McPherson was able to kick as many PATs as he had all season, going 4-for-4 and bringing his season total to 8-for-8. Both of his FGAs were good from 40 yards out, leaving him perfect on the year on field-goal tries under 50 yards, and 9-for-11 overall. Next up for McPherson and the Bengals is a Week 6 matchup with the Seahawks.

    Analysis: McPherson was only called upon once, but he came through by connecting on his 21-yard kick in the first quarter on the game-opening drive. Unfortunately, for Cincinnati, McPherson was not needed again afterward. The Florida product is now 7-for-9 on FGAs on the season, while he remains a perfect 4-for-4 on PATs. Next up for McPherson is the Cardinals in Week 5.

    McPherson made four of five field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Monday night's 19-16 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: McPherson accounted for 13 of his team's points, connecting on field goals from 49, 53, 48 and 54 yards. That impressive effort came despite him sending a 56-yard effort wide left on Cincinnati's first drive, just his second miss of the season. Through three games, he now sports 22 points.

    McPherson made one of his two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 24-3 loss at Cleveland.

    Analysis: McPherson converted on a 42-yard field goal on Cincinnati's first drive of the second half to cut the Browns' lead to 10-3, but he saw only one more opportunity to kick the ball after that. On the Bengals' next possession, he pushed a 51-yard attempt wide to the right. Joe Burrow and company being stifled almost entirely is probably an aberration, and McPherson's miss was just the third of his career from 50-plus after 17 attempts.

    Analysis: McPherson converted from 34 and 26 yards on his field goals. After a fantastic rookie season, McPherson was less accurate this year, with his 112 total points placing outside the top 15 for kickers league-wide. He'll now turn his focus to Sunday night's wild-card game and rematch versus the Ravens.

The kicker missed another PAT to the right following Cincinnati's next touchdown, but after the kick was negated by an unnecessary roughness call, the Bengals opted to go for two. McPherson bounced back by connecting on a 28-yard field goal to start the second quarter and finally made a PAT before halftime. However, the second-year kicker pulled his…read more

    Analysis: A 41-yard field goal as the first half expired accounted for Cincinnati's only points before halftime, but the offense heated up in the second half. McPherson made another kick from 21 yards and tacked on a pair of PATs as the Bengals improved to 10-4.

    Analysis: McPherson made two extra-point tries before connecting on his lone field-goal attempt, a 30-yarder that extended Cincinnati's lead to 23-10. After missing back-to-back attempts in Weeks 8 and 9, the second-year kicker has connected on six straight field goals, including four from beyond 40 yards.

    McPherson converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: McPherson entered Cincinnati's Week 10 bye having missed three total kicks over the Bengals' two games prior. Since then, the second-year pro has gone 7-for-7 on his field-goal attempts and 9-for-9 on PAT tries across the team's last three matchups. McPherson is someone who should be rostered in most leagues given his ability to kick from distance, and because he's part of the Bengals' high-powered offense, which allows more scoring opportunities.

    Analysis: After a strong start to the 2022-23 campaign, McPherson has now missed three kicks over Cincinnati's previous two games, including the missed 48-yard field-goal try during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against Carolina. The 23-year-old has just two field-goal makes across the team's last five games, and the Bengals will now enjoy a Week 10 bye before returning the following Sunday versus Pittsburgh.

  • Misses two kicks

    McPherson missed his only field-goal attempt as well as one of his two extra-point tries in Monday night's 32-13 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: McPherson went wide right with a 47-yard field goal just before halftime, then failed on his next kick as well. Although he finished by converting a PAT, it was a forgettable outing for the second-year player, with his point total marking a season low.

  • Hits five PATs in win

    McPherson did not attempt a field goal Sunday while going 5-for-5 on extra-point tries in the Bengals' 35-17 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: McPherson went without a field-goal attempt for the first time this year, but he did make a season-high five extra-point tries. Over the last three weeks, the kicker has made only two field goals total, as the Bengals' offense has started to heat up and score more touchdowns. McPherson will look to get more involved in Week 8 against the Browns.

The 23-year-old made all three of his extra-point attempts in the contest as well, and he has now made 11 consecutive PATs. On the season, McPherson has gone 11-for-13 on field goals while going 4-for-4 from 50-plus yards and converting 11 out of 12 extra-point tries.

  • Sees limited kicking opportunities

    McPherson converted on his only field-goal attempt and both point-after tries during the Bengals' 19-17 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

    Analysis: McPherson made a 40-yarder with eight seconds remaining in the first half, which tied the game at 10-10, but he was otherwise held in check in Week 5. The second-year kicker is now 10-for-12 on field-goal attempts and 8-of-9 on extra-point tries in 2022, and he'll have the luxury of kicking indoors next Sunday in New Orleans.

    McPherson (groin) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: McPherson unexpectedly popped up with a groin injury on Cincinnati's injury report Wednesday, which left him limited during practice. However, the 23-year-old appears to have moved past this issue heading into Sunday's game against Baltimore. McPherson converted nine of his 11 field-goal attempts and six of seven PAT tries over the first four weeks of the season.

    Analysis: McPherson may have picked up the injury in the Bengals' Week 4 win over the Dolphins, but his participation in practice in some capacity indicates it's probably not too severe. Regardless, the second-year kicker's status will be one to monitor ahead of a primetime matchup at Baltimore this Sunday.

  • Perfect in Thursday night win

    McPherson converted on both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his point-after tries during Cincinnati's 27-15 win versus Miami on Thursday.

    Analysis: McPherson made a chip shot to take the lead with 12 minutes remaining in the game and then nailed a 57-yarder to extend that lead to five points with six minutes to play. He continues to generate returns in leagues that reward long field goals, as he's 6-for-7 on field-goal tries of 40-plus yards through four games this season after converting on 15 of 20 such tries in 2021.

    Analysis: McPherson followed up his bumpy Week 1 performance against the Steelers with a return to form during this perfect outing against the Cowboys in Week 3. The second-year kicker kept Cincinnati's struggling offense in the game against Dallas, as he made field goals of 43, 50 and 46 yards through the first three quarters of Sunday's loss.

  • Mixed results in loss

    McPherson made two of three field-goal attempts and missed his only extra-point try during Sunday's 23-20 overtime defeat versus the Steelers. Both misses occurred after long-snapper Clark Harris tore his biceps and Mitchell Wilcox was forced into action and had bad snaps.

    Analysis: McPherson drilled a 59-yarder to open the scoring for the Bengals and added a 26-yard chip shot at the end of the first quarter. However, it all went downhill from there, as the second-year kicker proceeded to have his potential game-winning extra point blocked at the end of regulation and missed another potential game-winning kick -- a 29-yard field-goal attempt -- wide left in overtime. McPherson put together a solid rookie campaign and appeared ready to take another step forward after his…read more

  • Hits 50-yarder in preseason

    McPherson made three of four field-goal attempts and his only PAT attempt in Sunday's 25-22 preseason loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: McPherson connected from 50, 44 and 31 yards in the first half, but his attempt from 58 yards in the third quarter drifted wide left. That long miss won't shake McPherson's confidence, especially since a high snap is partially to blame for throwing off his rhythm. McPherson's elite blend of accuracy and power has the second-year kicker poised for another successful season finishing drives for the high-octane Bengals offense.

  • Makes all four kicks in Super Bowl

    McPherson converted both field-goal attempts and both PATs during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Rams in Super Bowl LVI.

    Analysis: It was a strong finish to a successful playoff run for McPherson, as he went 14-for-14 on field goals and 6-for-6 on PATs in four contests, though he didn't receive an opportunity to tie the game in the fourth quarter Sunday. The 22-year-old enjoyed a successful rookie campaign, going 28-for-33 on field-goal attempts and 46-for-48 on extra points. McPherson is a safe bet to open training camp as Cincinnati's kicker for 2022.

  • Not playing Week 18

    McPherson (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McPherson's first absence of the season was foreshadowed Saturday, when the Bengals promoted another kicker (Elliott Fry) from the practice squad. Fry will thus step in to handle kicking duties in place of McPherson, who should be ready to go for the wild-card round. The fifth-round rookie out of Florida turned in a productive regular season, connecting on 46 of 48 extra-point tries and 28 of 33 field-goal attempts, including a 9-for-11 mark from 50-plus yards.

    Analysis: McPherson appeared to be trending in the right direction ahead of Week 18 but was still listed as questionable against the Browns. If he's ultimately inactive, he'll fall one field goal shy of setting the Bengals' single-season scoring record.

    McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: With the Bengals offense chugging along once again, McPherson had plenty of work to do, although it mostly came after touchdowns. His 20-yard kick to win it as time expired was among the easiest he's ever had in terms of distance while simultaneously being probably the most pressure-packed in terms of importance. The rookie has now put up at least nine points in four straight games.

However, after nailing a 30-yard attempt to open the scoring and adding a 36-yarder at the end of the third quarter, McPherson pushed a 50-yard field goal wide right with five minutes left to go in the game. The 22-year-old is now 26-for-31 on the season, including 9-for-11 from 50-plus yards.
